While spez is indeed a truly horrible piece of work, we should also keep in mind that he wouldn’t be doing this without having some serious backing from shareholders. CEOs are the public figure presented to us for the 2 minutes’ hate but let’s not forget that these decisions are taken in huge boardrooms. So maybe we should say ‘fuck spez et al’ instead of just ‘fuck spez’.
isnt that what happened to Ellen Pao and how we got Spez? they promoted Pao, she took heat for firing Victoria, then Spez stepped in and “saved the day” (i.e., the board discarded Pao after the ritual sacrifice was complete and put in their new puppet)?

Yeah spez is just the figure head, if he got replaced nothing would be resolved.
It’s not Fuck Spez, it’s Fuck Reddit Inc.
Does no one remember the Ellen Pao era
Just dropping in to say I noticed your 1984 reference, and appreciated it especially in the context of this particular discussion.
Thanks!
Never thought the telescreens would be in our pockets though -_-
